Tide and Current Applications

Instruments

Examples

• ADP - Acoustic Doppler Profiler

• Poverty Bay - Describes how a bottom-tracking ADP on a small vessel was used in New Zealand to collect complex circulation currents near a sewage outfall.
• Shinnecock Inlet - Describes how SonTek side-looking ADP, ADVOcean, Argonaut-MD, and Argonaut-SL systems are being used to monitor currents for the Shinnecock Inlet Field Monitoring Project.

• ADV - Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter
• ADVOcean - A rugged version of the ADV

• Martha's Vineyard - Describes a laboratory evaluation and a field deployment of an ADV in the benthic boundary layer south of Martha's Vineyard during Hurricane Edouard by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
• Shinnecock Inlet - Describes how SonTek side-looking ADP, ADVOcean, Argonaut-MD, and Argonaut-SL systems are being used to monitor currents for the Shinnecock Inlet Field Monitoring Project.
• Surf Zone - Shows how an ADV was used to collect data in the surf zone of a local San Diego beach.
• Wave Field Measurements - Shows how several ADVs were used to study currents generated by a wave field at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

• Argonaut-MD (Mooring Deployment)

• ROV Predeployment - Describes how an Argonaut-MD is used to verify safe operating conditions before ROV deployment.
• Shinnecock Inlet - Describes how SonTek side-looking ADP, ADVOcean, Argonaut-MD, and Argonaut-SL systems are being used to monitor currents for the Shinnecock Inlet Field Monitoring Project.

• Argonaut-XR and YSI Sonde

• Kuwaiti Environmental Damage Assessment - Describes a water monitoring project that uses a YSI multiparameter sonde and Argonaut-XR.

• Argonaut-based sonar

• Lagrangian Float - Describes how an Argonaut-based sonar is being used in a scientific research project to study circulation and mixing in the upper ocean and coastal waters.
